Re: MSR-2000 Alignment Metering 

 Probably looks a lot like the one at the top of the web page
 at http://www.repeater-builder.com/msr2000/msr2000-index.html

There's an error on the above mentioned web page. 

 In other words, YOU CANNOT USE A MODERN DVM TO PROPERLY 
 TUNE AN MSR2000. 

I don't agree, in fact it's much easier for me to use my 
Fluke DMM to detect some of the very small meter peaks and 
dips. There is no rule or requirement the metering points 
have to be loaded by a 50uA movement. 

Erratic metering with low cost Digital Multi Meters is probably 
the result of the price you paid. 

If it's a good meter, it must be a Fluke. 

cheers, 
s.

I heard it on TV as If it works it must be a Fluke.

Mine is a Fluke 73 type III.

What wording would you suggest?

I wrote that the way I did because I have always had better
results with either a Moto test set or a analog VOM
(i.e. Simpson 260 or Triplett 630).
